Is anyone else watching Jon Stewart dominate the death panels lady?
She told him he was wrong and he said she is inciting fear and false terror. Then asked her to show where in the bill it lays the death panels out. She couldn't find it but said it was there. What a moran

1. Glad he finally cut that off... it was going nowhere.
She agreed that end of life planning was good but that apparently incentivizing doctors to talk about it was the worst form of tyranny?

In England, doctors get bonuses for getting patients to quit smoking or lose weight. The focus on preventative care hasn't created a totalitarian state.

So what's wrong with giving doctors bonuses for getting patients to set up living wills?

3. Doctors won't get bonuses to do it, they'll just be allowed to bill for it
right now it's generally nurses who do the counseling.

4. So what was her problem?
I made an honest effort to understand where this woman was coming from and I had absolutely no idea what she was trying to say.

Why does she think it's so evil to have doctors try to get patients to set up living wills?

This was easily the least informative interview I have ever seen on Jon Stewart, mostly because she kept interrupting him and flipping through her book.

2. I turned her off. Couldn't stand it.
I did learn that there is no Betsy "McCoy" though---- she spells it like McCoughey or something?
